The Immortal Emperor Returns Chapter 588 - Sea Beasts

Chapter 588 Sea Beasts

The sea? Chu Xun thought to himself, “The world is getting more and more chaotic. There are so many different races here.”
Regardless of their identity, they were courting death by massacring ordinary people.
“Please go back and tell the top official that I understand what he means. I will go there in a few days,” Chu Xun said.
Zhong Ren nodded and told Chu Xun mysteriously, “The country is studying a kind of thermal weapon, which is powerful. It is now in the experimental stage and can be used in a few days.”
“A thermal weapon?” Chu Xun didn’t care about it. Except for nuclear bombs, no matter how strong the thermal weapon was, it couldn’t hurt the experts at the Immortal Level.
“The thermal weapon is different from the previous ones. It might be able to kill an expert at the Gold Immortal Realm,” Zhong Ren said in a low voice.
“What?” Chu Xun was shocked. “It might kill an expert at the Immortal Level. Are you kidding me?”
“It’s true. I’ve tested it. The thermal weapon can break through a one-meter-thick steel plate,” Zhong Ren said.
Chu Xun was even more shocked. “Is it possible? Even an expert at the Gold Immortal Realm can’t do that.”
“The top official said that you have the right to know and have the right to dispatch it when it is put into use.”
Chu Xun felt a little excited. If what Zhong Ren said was true, it would be a powerful force. The country would have the confidence to deter warriors. Although the nuclear bomb could also deter them, it had great side effects. Wherever a nuclear bomb launched, the place would be barren for decades.
Having chatted with Zhong Ren for a long time, he couldn’t wait to see what kind of thermal weapon it was.
After staying in Shadowless City for a day, Zhong Ren left.
After saying goodbye to Qiu Yunping, Chu Xun rushed to Lian City.
The city faced the sea. Most of the people depended on the sea to make a living. But now, many creatures in the sea were very fierce and went ashore. In the past, prawns and crabs were just food, but as time went by, humans became their food.
The warriors in Lian City spontaneously formed guard teams to protect the citizens and fight against the creatures in the sea.
However, the sea creatures were too strong now. For example, a crab was as large as a villa. Its carapace was impenetrable, and its pincers could easily overturn a five- or six-story residential building.
The lobsters were several meters long, and their carapaces were very solid. They could walk on their hands and feet.
What was even more terrifying were sea snakes. They were terrifyingly large, coiling about like mountains. When their tails swept about, they could easily shatter a mountain top.
The creatures in the sea had begun cultivating. Moreover, from the looks of them, they had cultivated for a long time. They had strong cultivation. Human experts of the same level were no match for them.
The population of Lian City was roughly thirty million, and now that half of the city was destroyed by the sea beasts. Therefore, millions of people had lost their lives and became food for these sea beasts.
Sea beasts were different from land creatures and seemed to like to eat people very much.
The warriors were all exhausted. The number of sea beasts was large. Their attacks didn’t stop at all. The warriors were not enough in number to resist. Some of them even had to lead the citizens to flee.
Poof!
An expert at the Grade Nine of the Human King Realm was torn into two pieces by the terrifying crab’s pincer. Then, it chewed him. The sound of bones breaking made people feel uneasy.
Boom!
This was a huge sea scorpion more than ten meters long. Its long tail was comparable to the arm of a crane that could easily flip over a residential building.
Swoosh!
A terrifying tiger shark was in human shape with its shark head, looking ugly. It opened its mouth and took a deep breath. Several warriors were sucked over by it. It opened its mouth and showed its sharp fangs. Then, it tore off a warrior’s arm and chewed it.
This scene was bloody and cruel, which made people shocked. Human warriors were afraid.
“Haha... It tastes not bad.” The tiger shark laughed out loud.
“Kill the beast!”
An expert in the Human-Immortal Realm flew over and fought against the tiger shark. They fought fiercely. In the end, the shark defeated him and bit off his head.
“Kill!”
A fierce battle broke out again. This kind of battle had broken out countless times in the past few days.
The human warriors suffered heavy casualties and retreated step by step. The sea beasts kept chasing them and fed on them. It seemed that the beasts were happy and never tired.
In just an hour, countless human warriors were killed or injured and became the food of the sea beasts.
“Retreat!”
Some warriors with high cultivation shouted and tried to avoid the attack. If it went on like this, all the human warriors would die.
Several experts in the Human-Immortal Realm protected the others as they retreated.
Among the sea beasts was a strange man who looked like a monkey and wore a straw hat. Sitting on a sedan chair carried by several giant lobsters, he ordered the sea beasts to attack continuously.
An expert at the Immortal Level noticed that. He didn’t expect the sea beasts had a leader. With a single leap, he crossed a thousand meters. Then he charged at the strange man in the sedan chair. If he killed this person, the sea beasts would have no leader and descend into chaos.
A few sea beasts wanted to stop him but were smashed into blood mist by the expert. He rushed to a hundred meters away from the strange man, raised his hand, and threw out an energy chain.
Unexpectedly, the strange man stamped his feet and moved like a ghost. His palm, as withered as a claw, easily broke the energy chain. Then he rushed to the human expert and reached out quickly. His hand penetrated the other side’s protective aura, pierced into the expert’s chest, and pulled out his heart. After that, he raised his head with a ferocious smile on his face.
What the expert last saw was a strange face full of fur. The monkey-liked man wasn’t a human but a sea monkey.
The sea monkey was a primate. It could cultivate at high speed. In addition, it was cunning and cruel.
“As a group of small potatoes, how dare you try to kill me? ” The sea monkey’s eyes were scarlet and looked very cruel. It showed its sharp teeth. Then it jumped thousands of meters with one leap and rushed toward those experts at the Immortal Level.
“Retreat!” The Human Immortals shouted. The sea monkey’s cultivation was terrifying. They were no match for it.
However, the sea monkey moved so fast that it caught up with the experts with a few leaps. With a wave of its claw, it crushed half of an expert’s head. Then it held the body and crazily sucked his brain marrow.
“Damn it.” The nearby expert raised his blade and chopped towards the sea monkey.
Clang!
Sparks flew everywhere. The sea monkey’s head was even harder than secret gold. The expert convulsed, and his purlicue cracked.
The sea monkey sucked the body’s brain marrow. Then it looked at the expert who chopped it with its scarlet eyes and grinned. Its smile looked ugly, and there was some blood left on its teeth.
Its legs kicked out, leaving behind afterimages in the air. It scratched towards the expert’s neck with its sharp claws.
The face of the expert turned pale. He could not dodge the sea monkey’s attack at all.
The other warrior roared sadly.
At the critical moment, a fiery figure suddenly descended from the sky. With a boom, the ground cracked, and rocks flew everywhere. The sea monkey screamed, trampled by a gigantic claw.
The surrounding temperature rose rapidly, causing the ground to crack. Everyone was shocked as they saw the giant beast shadow with the red flames.
“Flaming Qilin,” someone quietly called out.
Flaming Qilin lowered his head to look at the sea monkey beneath his feet. He said with disdain, “Like a worthless person in imposing attire, you won’t be able to be a human even if you put on clothes. Who gave you the courage to go ashore?”
Crack!
The Flaming Qilin’s giant claw sunk into the ground, turning the vicious sea monkey into meat paste and burning it to ashes.
Roar!
Flaming Qilin roared with waves of his voice.
“You sea beasts, I’ll give you three breaths to get back to the sea, or I’ll kill you without mercy.”
The sea beasts were stunned to see Flaming Qilin crushing the sea monkey to death by his single claw. The huge crab was brandishing its pincers toward Flaming Qilin, like provoking.
Flaming Qilin immediately roared furiously. With a jump of one kilometer, he rushed straight at the big crab. With his huge body leaping high into the air, he dived down and stepped directly on the crab’s back.
Crack!
The crab shell, which was harder than steel, couldn’t resist the force of Flaming Qilin. He made four bloody holes on the crab shell.
Flaming Qilin was surrounded by the Red Flame Qi, which melted the crab shell. The crab was paralyzed by pain, and its whole body was smoking. Everyone could smell the meat fragrance.
Boom!
Flaming Qilin jumped down and crushed the crab’s head and its huge pincers directly.
The surrounding sea beasts were stunned, none daring to move.
Flaming Qilin was angry. Three breaths of time had passed, but the sea beasts stayed still without moving. His red flames swirled around him. Then he rushed into the group of sea beasts. He crashed lots of sea beasts and created a path of blood. Every time meeting a large beast, he would spit out a mouthful of lava. He was like a giant push dozer, cutting through the sea beasts like dealing with dry weeds. He kept on dealing with them for a while. Countless sea beasts were burned to ashes by his flames.
Flaming Qilin’s true form was so intimidating that the sea beasts couldn’t compare to him at all. They were easily killed by Flaming Qilin.
The human warriors were shocked. Flaming Qilin was so terrifying that he was almost invincible.
“Flaming Qilin is mighty!”
“Please wipe out all these sea beasts!”
“You bastards, stop running. Why not fight with Flaming Qilin?”
The human warriors were happy. Flaming Qilin was powerful. He killed the sea monkey with one claw. No matter what kind of sea beasts he met, he would turn them into ashes.
The sea beasts were in fear and not stupid. Having known how terrifying Flaming Qilin was, they drew back like the tide.
Flaming Qilin’s killing desire surged. He chased after the sea beasts. The ground was littered with the corpses of sea beasts, but none of them were intact. Some of the bodies had been destroyed, while the others’ heads had been burned away by the flames.
The mountain-sized sea scorpion was the fastest to escape. Flaming Qilin caught up with it and cut its enormous tail with a single swipe of its claw. After that, he spat out a mouthful of red flames that directly roasted the sea scorpion.
The sea snake, more than thirty meters long, wriggled its enormous body. Flaming Qilin pounced on it and stepped on its head. Its enormous body swiftly twined around Flaming Qilin, about to strangle him to death. However, it was almost roasted by Flaming Qilin’s red flames.
Flaming Qilin was furious. He opened the sea snake’s huge mouth and then spat a mouthful of magma into its mouth. The snake twisted its huge body desperately in pain, slapping the ground with its tail and causing the ground to explode. Finally, it was covered with fire and burned into a long ash mark.
